The word “entrepreneur” is derived from the French verb enterprendre, which means
‘to undertake’. Entrepreneurs are not afraid “to undertake” the risk of new enterprises.
Entrepreneurs have the skills and capabilities to see and evaluate business opportunities. The
process of creation of enterprises is called entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurship involves
identifying opportunities for profit by finding solutions to problems. Entrepreneurs take the
necessary steps and combine resources to turn their ideas into reality.
Did you know? A lot of entrepreneurs start young. Here are two admirable Filipino
entrepreneurs who started young:
1. Carl Ocab, Carlocab.com – Carlo was just thirteen (13) when he started exploring the
Internet. He made information websites and forums. His website is now a high caliber
internet marketing agency. (source: https://www.top10asia.org/main/rankings/top-10-young-inspiring-filipino-
entrepreneurs/)
2. Socorro Ramos, National Bookstore - Socorro started as a salesgirl at a bookstore. She
opened National Book Store in Escolta at the age of 19. She sold books and school
supplies to students. National Bookstore is the biggest bookstore in the country now.

Think about this: Why do you think they became successful? How can you be a
successful entrepreneur too?
❑ Consumers:
- Consumers demand products and services to satisfy their wants and needs.
Consumers’ wants in terms of preferences, tastes, and liking keep on changing. An
entrepreneur needs to know what the consumers want so that he/she can offer the
product or service accordingly.
❑ Existing Products and Services:
- Monitor the existing products and services already available in the market and make
a competitive analysis to identify their shortcomings. Decide what and how a better
product and service can be offered to the consumers based on the analysis.
❑ Distribution Channels:
- Distribution channels called market intermediaries also serve as a very effective
source for new ideas for entrepreneurs. The channel members such as wholesalers
and retailers can provide ideas for new product development and modification in the
existing product.
❑ Government:
- At times, the government can also be a source of new product ideas in various ways.
Regulations on product production and consumption issued by the government can
be a source of ideas for entrepreneurs.
❑ Research and Development:
- Research and Development (R&D) can be carried out in-house or outside the
organization. R&D activity suggests what and how a new or modified product can be
produced to meet the customers’ requirements.
❑ Opportunity/Product Identification:
- After going through the process above, you are now able to generate some ideas
that can be pursued as your business enterprise.
MARKET ANALYSIS
According to Oxford Languages, market analysis is the activity of gathering information
about conditions that affect a marketplace. Analyzing the market needs help you determine
what decisions regarding your product and business will give you profit. You can use existing
sources in analyzing market needs, or you can go directly to the consumers. Direct research
can be done through surveys, questionnaires, focus groups, and in-depth interviews. Below is
your guide in analyzing the needs of your market.
3. DETERMINE PRODUCTS AND SERVICES TO OFFER – Study and use the data you have
gathered to identify the products or services that answer the needs of
your target market. Create a list. For example, your market analysis
shows that your target market is composed mostly of students because
your location is near a school. Using this data, you can include school
supplies and snacks in your list of possible products.
Reminder: Although trends come and go, keeping up with the latest trends is necessary for
the success of your business. Acknowledging trends and using them to your advantage
results in innovation. Industries that adapt to the rapid changes in the business
environment by improving their products and service keep their businesses going and
growing.
Job well done! You have studied the lesson diligently. By now, you have already
identified your target market and the product or service you want to offer. You are now ready to
prepare a business plan. As the saying goes, failing to plan is planning to fail. As an
entrepreneur, you need to have a plan before starting your business.
